Assess if Spokane Electronics correctly interpreted the earned value metrics. Explain the rational for your conclusion.

Based on your review and analysis of the “Franklin Electronics” case study (Kerzner, 2017, pp. 545-547), address the following key discussion topic elements:

  • Assess if Spokane Electronics correctly interpreted the earned value metrics. Explain the rational for your conclusion.
  • What, if any, other EVM metrics would you recommend? Explain the rational for your recommendation.

Describe the theories of each of these figures and why this shift occurred.

The last quarter of the 19th century saw a shift within the art world from male-dominated history and genre scenes to female-dominated interiors and landscapes, along with a shift in artistic discourse from the theories of John Ruskin to those of James Abbott McNeill Whistler. Describe the theories of each of these figures and why this shift occurred. Then discuss the differences between the two types of art associated with these theories, using specific examples.

Locate two JOURNAL articles which discuss this topic further. You need to focus on the Abstract, Introduction, Results, and Conclusion.

1.  Read the attached opinion piece where the author indicates that the Great Recession of 2009 was not caused by the Free Market, but was instead caused by US Government policies.

2. Locate two JOURNAL articles which discuss this topic further. You need to focus on the Abstract, Introduction, Results, and Conclusion. For our purposes, you are not expected to fully understand the Data and Methodology

Describe how you used keywords to search on your chosen clinical issue of interest.

Is there a difference between “common practice” and “best practice”?

When you first went to work for your current organization, experienced colleagues may have shared with you details about processes and procedures. Perhaps you even attended an orientation session to brief you on these matters. As a “rookie,” you likely kept the nature of your questions to those with answers that would best help you perform your new role.

Over time and with experience, perhaps you recognized aspects of these processes and procedures that you wanted to question further. This is the realm of clinical inquiry.

Clinical inquiry is the practice of asking questions about clinical practice. To continuously improve patient care, all nurses should consistently use clinical inquiry to question why they are doing something the way they are doing it. Do they know why it is done this way, or is it just because we have always done it this way? Is it a common practice or a best practice?

In this Assignment, you will identify clinical areas of interest and inquiry and practice searching for research in support of maintaining or changing these practices. You will also analyze this research to compare research methodologies employed.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry.
  • Based on the clinical issue of interest and using keywords related to the clinical issue of interest, search at least four different databases in the Walden Library to identify at least four relevant peer-reviewed articles related to your clinical issue of interest. You should not be using systematic reviews for this assignment, select original research articles.
  • Review the results of your peer-reviewed research and reflect on the process of using an unfiltered database to search for peer-reviewed research.
  • Reflect on the types of research methodologies contained in the four relevant peer-reviewed articles you selected.

Part 1: An Introduction to Clinical Inquiry

Create a 4- to 5-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:

  • Identify and briefly describe your chosen clinical issue of interest.
  • Describe how you used keywords to search on your chosen clinical issue of interest.
  • Identify the four research databases that you used to conduct your search for the peer-reviewed articles you selected.

What benefits do you believe have resulted from the utilization of mixed methodology rather than the utilization of solely a quantitative or a qualitative methodology for this study?

Read Chapter 12 in Practical Research. Locate a scholarly journal article from the ProQuest database that employs mixed methodology in its design. Based on this journal article and two additional academic sources provide a summary of the article and explain the following in a three- to four-page discussion:

  1. What benefits do you believe have resulted from the utilization of mixed methodology rather than the utilization of solely a quantitative or a qualitative methodology for this study?
  2. Do you believe that this methodology is more or less problematic to the research process than employing one single method for this particular study? Why or why not?
  3. What type of study would you apply a mixed method design to and why? Explain your reasoning in detail.

Explain how the example your colleague chose could be used to demonstrate one additional feature of statistical probability not discussed in their initial post.

Respond to a colleague who posted about a different example from the one you chose to discuss. Respond in one or more of the ways listed below:

  • Explain how the example your colleague chose could be used to demonstrate one additional feature of statistical probability not discussed in their initial post.
  • A description of how the example your colleague chose strengthened your understanding of statistical probability.
  • Ask a probing question about your colleague’s chosen probability demonstration or example and provide the foundation or rationale for the question.
